BM:
Do you mean "it does not reproduce the same phenomenon as QM", or do
you mean that we have not yet understood how it could reproduce the
same phenomenon as QM"?

I will not bore you with technics buts complementarity can be handled
in Z1* (extract from comp) although there are still open problems.


Anyway, thank you for the thought experiment I will read it at ease.
